Very clean floor......
There is only one solution, you must completely coat the floor with oil and then clean it up. That way, it looks uniform, ie no oil spot jumping out to the eye..... Ken |

Do a quick search on GPR's web site and you will see these.....you might not have noticed that they are for my /6, not a /4. I have not seen these for /4.

When you take a lower valve cover off a 6, the oil will slowly drain from the tank through the pump and into the engine, that's why it kept leaking long enough to make the mess. BTDT. The hot setup is to pull one side at a time and jack that side of the car up high enough that it won't even drip.
BTW, I love the red silicone gaskets. Make sure the cam tower is clean of old gasket material, don't worry about warped whatever, doan matter. These gaskets will conform no matter how warped the covers are. Make sure the gaskets are clean and dry (no sealant or anything) and only tighten them a little bit, less that 4 ft. lbs. Over-tightening will make them squish out and leak. They will seal over and over, best money I spent on the 9-eleben (besides the turbocharger). |

Cool info for all of us. |

Actually, I didn't remove the valve cover for just that reason. I worked in the garage for like 4 hours and it only pissed about a 1/2 dollar size puddle. I figured no prob....the next day I was shown to be wrong.
I didnt know the gaskets were reusable so I ordered 6....so I will be selling a set or two soon. |

The pics are after I started the clean up already so they are not as bad as it was, but you asked for them so here you are.
